100+ ways to make $100: #17 Resell SSL Certificates

An SSL certificate is something that websites often use in order to prove that their website is secure. This certificate is digitally "signed" by a certificate authority that people already trust after they verify the identify of a secure site. Many website visitors need to know a site is secure before they submit payment or personal information, so webmasters NEED the SSL certificates. You can become a partner with any company that offers SSL certificates and resell them on their behalf. These companies either will either sell their SSL certificates to you at a discount, and you can resell them, or they will offer you incentives based on the number of sales you make. You can find examples of such incentives on verisign.com or on digicert.com.
